Cushion Covers for IKEA High Chair

I’m a first time mother and sewing enthusiast. When my son started solids and using his high chair I was amazed at how many times I had to wash the cushion cover after his artistic attempts at eating food for the first time. (Honestly, at 14 months he still makes an impressive mess).

Out of frustration, grew a brilliant idea to sew additional covers for the Pyttig inflatable cushion as a way to make washing less stressful. I also saw this as an opportunity to jazz up the chair with some funky fabrics. A cool way to decorate for 1st birthdays, cake smashes, photo shoots, Christmas, & Easter etc.

I make them out of 100% cotton so they comfortable and gentle on bubs skin, while being super easy to wash. The base is closed with plastic snaps instead of a zip or velcro so it won’t rust or get snagged in the wash.

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...
